AI + Smart + Mixed Reality

The AI race between the US and China is at full speed with billions of USD being poured into the industry in both countries (and a couple more who play a desperate catch-up). And there’s a reason – China expects the AI-related market to top $1 trillion by 2030.

Many scientists have predicted that humanity will achieve the technological breakthrough of creating Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with a possible positive or negative impact in all domains. Roman is a foremost expert on the AI’s general and super intelligence we are about to unleash—and, most importantly—on how to approach the emerging opportunities and challenges.

Smart Tech by Scott AmyxEnglishTalk

9/6/18 10:00

Everything around us is becoming smart. Gadgets, homes, factories, and whole cities use that label to indicate the change from a passive role to an active agent that senses its environment and implements some kind of intelligence with the data gathered. We are heading towards trillion sensors future where we will have data about everything everywhere in real-time. What impact will it have?

Are you frustrated by trying to achieve your dreams by copying others? Internationally-acclaimed speaker and founder of the cutting-edge venture capital Amyx Ventures, Scott Amyx reveals how you can attain real success in your life, your way. His theory of Strive is a challenge to the conventional wisdom that has held so many people back from achieving their goals and enjoying lasting happiness.

Mixed Reality: virtual enterprise by Amy PeckEnglishTalk

8/19/18 10:20

What happens when you train people and robots in virtual environments, prototype and test your products virtually, work in a virtual room with colleagues from thousand miles away, or let virtually test-drive an autonomous car a million miles a week in a super-realistic virtual simulation of the real world?

Coming from San Francisco, the heart of the VR revolution, Amy solves these questions with her clients every day and is a passionate evangelist of the virtual future awaiting us.

Future of Resources: Blockchain & Energy

What’s the most digital country in the world? Estonia. And who’s one of the key people behind it? Martin, the president of the world’s largest blockchain technology company.

The blockchain, a so-called distributed ledger technology is quickly gaining ground in a broad spectrum of business and e-government use-cases, from logistics to healthcare, to public registries or financial aid distribution. Get a firm hold of blockchain’s implications far beyond the heated discussions about cryptocurrencies.

Future of Energy: AI, decentralization and microgrid by Christian JacobssonEnglishTalk

8/21/18 11:55

Take a 100-year old energy company going AI and you get Alpiq, the Swiss electricity producer, where Christian heads the Energy AI department. He will explore with us a future where energy is decarbonized, digitalized, decentralized and where more and more decisions are taken by machines.

If you think someone as conservative as Switzerland would stay miles away from something as controversial as Bitcoin and other blockchain-based crypto-technologies think twice. Dolfi, the mayor of Zug, will take you to one of the Swiss’ richest cities and cantons that started accepting Bitcoin in local government institutions in 2016 and is building a Silicon-Valley-inspired business ecosystem for fintech innovation dubbed Crypto Valley.

Machine ethics is quickly becoming a crucial discipline in the booming field of artificial intelligence and autonomous machines—like self-driving cars and robots. Nell Watson, the co-founder of EhicsNet and faculty at AI Singularity University will discuss how to help machines understand humans with a foremost expert in the field, Prof. Wendell Wallach, and related challenges in front of us.

Nell and Wendell are also participating in the World’s Machine Ethics Symposium, that will go deep on the subject on Friday, as a part of Future Port Prague side program.

Future of Humanity

Coming freshly back to Prague from years at top academic institutions abroad, Martin, one of the most cited researches in the world in his field, will take us into the nano-scale world where smart machines the size 200x smaller than the human hair clean our blood vessels and deliver drugs to specific places in our bodies.

Anita sent the Curiosity Rover to Mars and created the coldest spot in the universe on the International Space Station – Now she is engineering what can best be described as space travel on the ground, also known as the hyperloop.

Anita will talk about the future of mobility, from supersonic planes, to flying cars, and space travel on the ground.

Technologies are not isolated islands, they support, enable and accelerate each other. Explore the synergetic impact nanotech, robotics, and future mobility will create.

SPECIAL: An interview in virtual reality with Philip RosedaleEnglishInterview

9/4/18 16:30

Interviewed by Amy Peck

A very special interview with PhilipRosedale, the entrepreneur behind Second Life who recently raised $35M to build blockchain into High Fidelity, a social VR platform he’s building. Philip is known for stating that virtual worlds will become more important than the real one.

We will dig deeper into that and everything about virtual worlds, virtual societies, and a blockchain-based economy that will promises to create a virtually unlimited market of digital assets in these worlds.

In this experimental interview, Philip and Amy’s avatars will connect live in VR over the Atlantic ocean between San Francisco and our stage in Prague.
